Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Graphene, a famous material, is rapidly rising in the field of materials
science. The 2D material demonstrates in a small period of history particular
properties, which are briefly discussed in the present chapter. This work reviews the
preparation, characterization and potential applications of graphene in water splitting.
The chapter starts with a short introduction to graphene, its properties, and structural
features. Then, a section on the different methods used for its preparation and its
modification are discussed in detail. In addition, this chapter contains some practical
examples of graphene-based materials largely used for hydrogen generation. In
addition, this chapter contains a thorough revision of the latest results on the use of
graphene-based materials for hydrogen production via water splitting using
photocatalytic or photoelectrocatalytic processes.
Keywords:
2D materials, Graphene, Graphene-based nanomaterials, Graphene oxide, Hydrogen, Nanomaterials, Photoelectrochemical, Reduced graphene, Water splitting.
